Nice review, I may have to get one now lol. No reverse allowed in the US RC racing clubs. Brakes are allowed. I have a converted Associated RC10L drifter and several 1/28 cars that I run on a track in my basement. Check out the FPV drifting too.
The paper that shows the programming settings and their order overrides what is shown on the programming card. That is how it works with Hobbywing program cards, so I would assume the same for this card. I have this card but have only used it on a Rocket ESC (the new Surpass ESCs) which is what the list on the card is for. That list isn't the same as the other Surpass ESCs, so you should not base your programming off of that. A programming card can only give you access to the settings on the ESC, not give you new ones. That ESC that you programmed very likely doesn't have a setting for Motor Temp or ESC Temp, and the card will only give you the options available for that setting. So, if the setting only has 5 options you won't be able to set it to 9. You just set up that ESC all wrong, unless some of the settings lined up with the settings on the card.
I was only showing an example of what the programming card was capable of. You are correct it all depends on the esc that is being programmed and the capabilities it has
I'm not getting goof brakes on mined I hve the 150esc but I set it up and tried it in the house but not getting any good brakes going to get the program card and see if I can turn up the brakes
@@Van_Citythe card did not come with any guide or manual, and the instructions that came with the combo are extremely vague, but does give the programming table.
Like video but have a question new to the rc car , I have a futaba 3pv haven’t had a chance to set everything up on it for my arrma Typhon mega & my bandit xl-5. So my question will that mess up the settings in the transmitter
This specific programming card will only work with certain ESC’s, specifically made for surpass hobby branded ones there are others that are a rebrand that it will also work with. neither of your RC’s should require the use of this u less you have an aftermarket esc.
Could you please explain how those cards work? How come it's possible to use few cards, that have settings in different order on one esc? I noticed in this case order is the same, but V2 has more adjustment in first five settings? There are videos, where people use the black card with 17 settings on a surpass 60A brushless. It's greatly confusing 😅
It’s hard to explain. Not all cards work for all ESC’s. The black one I have is an upgraded version of a popular surpass hobby grey programming card. The ones I use work with surpass hobby ESC’s but they also work with some of the other name brands that are the same but just rebranded under a different company. The hobby wing ones use a different programming card Even for me it’s confusing I hope I was able to shed a bit of light on this for you
friend how to reverse the side to turn the engine, my engine is turning to the wrong side, even in reverse on the radio the engine continues to turn wrong, can you help me?
The trigger delay for air control was unacceptable on my 150A Hobbystar v2 on factory settings. Were you able Resolve this with punch/boost/turbo adjustments?
To get the most life out of your Lipos and prevent them from being damaged you don’t want to drain them down too much. It’s recommended you set the parameters to the highest voltage setting.
Hi. I need some help here. This program card is compatible to Surpass Hobby KK Series ESC ? Because my esc does not have a wire to check motor overheat protection
Trying to find this card with that description is not easy. The one I found that looks like that says it's a ROCKET V2 programming card. There's no difference, right? Being able to set the drag brake value is important. If you need it, that's fine. If you don't and you don't eliminate it, you get instant 100% brake as soon as you ease up on the throttle!
@@beastrcdragracingteam4256 I’m not 100% sure what cable you are referring to. Is it possible for you post a picture on the Van City RC Facebook Page? So I can see what you’re referring to
@Van_City is there any way to change it on a surpass esc, 45a in my case. I saw it done to a 150a esc using a jumper plug, youtube video "changing input voltage..". I can't find any surpass program cards that show BEC adjustment, only saw it on a hobbywing program card
@@RC-gj7kq Spoke with my friend who owns one and looking at the esc it should be able to be programmed with the programming card I reviewed in this video. 👍💯💥
Hi! When you have plugged in the card, it scrolled until parameter 15... But you stopped at parameter 9.... Do you think you really have parameters 10 to 15 too? What are they? I have almost the same esc ( kk v2 80a ) and programming card and on the instructions its 13 parameters but when I plug the card it goes up to 15... i am confused a bit..
@VAN CITY RC ok, maybe you can try the parameter 11 that is the turbo timing. The default value is 1 then 0 degree. You can then try to set it at the value 7 that is 60 degrees. If you do not see a difference, then we can think that the card can only read the value but is not able to set it.
Hey everyone so I love the surpass 120s/esc. Bit I just got the 150a and with the two wires. I'd like to use just 1 6s battery on it instead of always using two batterys. Can anyone tell me about this
this truly is a game changer
It’s a good programming card 👍💯

That’s funny it looks very similar to the Hobbywing 1080 programmers 🤙
It is very similar to the Hobbywing 1080 Programmer 👍💯
Cool program card and great review
Thanks brother appreciate you stopping by. 👍💯💥
Interesting little device. 💯👍 It’s nice they included a little better manual.
Did the original version even have a manual? I don’t think mine came with one.
It came with one but I was sure if I had to insert the cable back into the motor the motor
Very nice piece off kit 👌 great information and how to test video 👍 hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🎅
Thanks Tony. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
i love this product i have too, th'x the tutorial
It’s a great product. Thanks for stopping by 👍💯💥
@@Van_City yeah
Mine has 15 options?
I believe they’re set up for additional programming options
Hiya great video only I'm confused as to which programming card is suitable for the the surpass hobby rc plane ESC? Thanks heaps 😉😎
I’m honestly not certain you can program the esc from an rc plane. If you can this one should work
I'm not getting goof brakes on mined I hve the 150esc but I set it up and tried it in the house but not getting any good brakes going to get the program card and see if I can turn up the brakes
Should be able to adjust brake sensitivity with a programming card. 👍💯
@@Van_City thank you bro..great videos
can anyone help me when I plug mine in it says e a a on the bit where the numbers should show up
Sounds like your esc may not be compatible. I’ll see if I can find more info on the eaa code
@@Van_City same issue. Just bought a kk series brushless combo with a 45a esc. I get the EAA display as well.
@@Van_Citythe card did not come with any guide or manual, and the instructions that came with the combo are extremely vague, but does give the programming table.
@applefordguy76 yeah these programming cards have very poor instructions. Best to lookup videos on CZcams to figure them out
@applefordguy76 don’t think your esc is compatible with this programming card
Think overheat protection of the motor works only if there is a temperature sensor in the motor? :)
Yeah that would make sense

friend how to reverse the side to turn the engine, my engine is turning to the wrong side, even in reverse on the radio the engine continues to turn wrong, can you help me?
Your motor has 3 wires which are plugged into the esc. Take the 2 outer wires and switch them, that will reverse the motor direction
@@Van_City I already did that and it didn't work, it made a strange noise in the engine, I reversed wire (A) and wire (C) it didn't work
@@joealbuquerque5557 what esc are you using?
it looks very very similar to the Hobbywing cards. did you try compatability?
It is very similar, I don’t have the hobbywing card but I’m thinking I might grab one to see.
The reason why I’m asking is that i am going to be racing on carpet soon, and would like to know how long I can rac before I have to change batteries
What size battery you running?
3s lipo
I was told that when you race driver have to use 2s lipo battery
@@Van_City 3s lipo
The trigger delay for air control was unacceptable on my 150A Hobbystar v2 on factory settings. Were you able Resolve this with punch/boost/turbo adjustments?
Yes that should be able to be resolved with programming the esc
@@Van_City hoping it’s at least manageable to prevent buggy nose dives into the exposed tower, 😊
Have a question how can I use my lipo battery to there full capability before recharging it again. What voltage should I set it on the program card
To get the most life out of your Lipos and prevent them from being damaged you don’t want to drain them down too much. It’s recommended you set the parameters to the highest voltage setting.
is that on the program card
Hi. I need some help here. This program card is compatible to Surpass Hobby KK Series ESC ? Because my esc does not have a wire to check motor overheat protection

@@kodak_jack it is. A lot more settings can be adjusted with this one
Hey once you get everything programmed do you insert the male cable back into the motor
Once everything is programmed you can hook everything backup and you’re good to go.
@@Van_City so I do have to hook the cable back into the motor

BEC voltage is missing in this card
You’re right it doesn’t have an option to adjust the BEC Voltage

@@Marknewell273 I’m not certain there is a way. I’ll have a look at it and let you know if I come up with anything
You set the punch to 4 ? Wouldn't that increase your punch level high.... The card shows 5 being very high and 1 low punch ..
I believe you’re correct 👍💯
what esc are you using?
60amp surpass hobby
Nice video as allways. For my vrx cobra what program card I have to buy? Suprass hobby? Thanks in advance.
I’m not 100% sure. I’ll look into it and let you know
@@Van_City ok perfect. Wait for your answer. Thanks a lot

Hola alguien sabe cuál sería la configuración o si es compatible para Crawler
Sí, sería compatible con la programación de un rastreador. Siempre y cuando su esc sea programable con esta tarjeta
@@Van_City buenas noches es el ESC Rocket V2- pero no se cuál sería su configuración,si me pueden dar alguna idea os lo agradecería
Does it the same or different results if compare with v.1 especially start mode, strong on v. 1 and level 6 on v. 2
There does seem to be a difference with the v2. being able to fine tune your selections better than v1.
Hi! When you have plugged in the card, it scrolled until parameter 15... But you stopped at parameter 9.... Do you think you really have parameters 10 to 15 too? What are they? I have almost the same esc ( kk v2 80a ) and programming card and on the instructions its 13 parameters but when I plug the card it goes up to 15... i am confused a bit..
I’m not sure why it goes past 9 as it is only supposed to have parameters to 9. There’s a possibility 10-15 work, I might try and see
@VAN CITY RC ok, maybe you can try the parameter 11 that is the turbo timing. The default value is 1 then 0 degree. You can then try to set it at the value 7 that is 60 degrees. If you do not see a difference, then we can think that the card can only read the value but is not able to set it.
Yeah I just got mine and every time I plug the esc in.. it reads E R R
Hmm the ESC you’re trying might not be programmable or compatible with this programming card
@Van_City yeah I was wondering the same thing eventhough it is an aftermarket universal ESC
Or are they both different
They’d be different
@@Van_City can I still is that motor and esc are on my traxxas bandit or Armma Tyhon Mega
@@ernestclanton8343 yes 👍

Hi I have the same esc and just desoldered the connectors and re-soldered a single connector to the wires
really amazing . full watched.Iam your new subscriber.keep in touch.
Thanks appreciate the support 👍💯💥
Dose your manual say anything about the reading eaa I didn't get the manual with mine and that is all it said on all three of my rocket rc esc
I don’t recall if the manual refers to that or not. I’ll see if I can locate my manual to confirm and let you know
